Abstract

PREVIOUS STUDIES ON THE TONE OF CHONGQING DIALECT ARE MOSTLY FOCUSED ON MONOSYLLABIC TONES, WHILE SYSTEMATIC DESCRIPTIONS ON DISYLLABIC TONE SANDHI ARE SCARCELY COVERED. THIS THESIS MADE AN ACOUSTIC DESCRIPTION OF THE PITCH CONTOUR OF THE MONOSYLLABIC AND DISYLLABIC CHONGQING DIALECT BY MEANS OF THE EXPERIMENTAL PHONETICS METHOD, AND PROBED THE INFLUENCE OF WORD STRESS AND COARTICULATION ON THE PITCH CHANGE. THEREON A PATTERN OF DISYLLABIC TONE SANDHI OF CHONGQING DIALECT WAS SUMMARIZED.
